This study describes the implementation of an online path planner in an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) system using the open-source system architecture MOOS-IvP. The path planner employs a path replanning scheme and the SDEQPSO algorithm, and is implemented based on a modular framework to ensure robustness during mission. Experimental results demonstrate that the path planner can seamlessly run with hardware in real time, generating and continuously refining safe and feasible paths in dynamic and unexplored environments.
This study describes the implementation of an online path planner in an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) system by using an open-source system architecture, MOOS-IvP. The path planner employed a path replanning scheme and the selective differential evolution quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (SDEQPSO) algorithm. The implementation was based on a modular framework to ensure the robustness of the path replanner during a mission. The performance of the path replanner was evaluated and verified under stochastic processes hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, in which the replanner interacted with the onboard controllers and actuators of an Explorer AUV. The experimental results showed the path replanner can be run seamlessly with the hardware onboard an Explorer AUV in real time to generate and continuously refine a safe and feasible path for a dynamic and unexplored environment.
